the basis ol his public assertion ol the beneficent effects of the Indiana Divorcc

laws, replies:

I have several newspaper letters and articles taken Irom Western journals, going t.r the ell'ec that both prostitution and domestic violence have been influenced favorably by the divorce laws of Indiana. Rut i7 is impossible to lay my hands on them, as (lie are .some years old. liut during some years' residence in Cincinnati, (hio. when our communication wit Indiana was continual, I have often conversed with well informed people on the subject, and do not remember ever to have heard an opinion counter to that which 1 expressed, namely, that there is less prostitution and wife murder and in-

tan icide in Indiana than in other Slates. Hill 1 do not remember giving a decided opinion that but few persons avail themselves of the six inon hs' notice for incompatibility granted by law. In fact, in this fortti 1 do not, 1 fear, comprehend the position von have assumed. 1 lake it that the six months'notice is a legal formula, and il it were omitted the lawyers would make a huhbii-b. My belie! that the legal part is a sop in many cases to the legal Cerbenises who guard the way to divoi If even in 1 ndiana.

titer.KT OF THE CHAtM.AIN, KEY. W. SUl.t.t VAN. The Chaplain introduces his report by devout acknowledgment of the niercie-i and blessings ot our Heavenly bather so riehlv bestowed upon us the pa.-t year,

The work of reform in this pri.'on, which received so signal impetus tvo years ago has gone 011 with comparatively little interruption until morality in its claims, '-eligion in her influence, haven stronger hold upon the inmates than I have ever known belore.

This may be attributed in a great measure to the humane policy ot our excellent Warden in the management of the prison, who, lecogni/.ing that the true end of punishment is reformation ami kindness as its most eflieient means, ha- given bis heartv sanction, both by precept and example, to every possible appliance tending 10 such a happy result.

As chaplain of the pi i-on, without sympathy from a source 1 have a rigl't to look for it. and opposed tioma quarter whence 1 should expect as.-istance. Irom men who look with contempt upon religious services in a State prison. 1 know how to appreciate the countenance and support given by the chiel 1 flicer while tr\ ing to lead the erring (.lies in the path of 1 ectitude and holine-s.

He-then speaks of the Library purchased with 1 he money appropria ed lor the pin pose by the last Legislature, and ol the value it has he.n to the convicts and of their need of lights to allow of their reading in their cells at night.

Whatever secular instruction is given, is in our Sabbath School, when ilio.-e who cannot 1 ead are placed in clas-es under suitable teaches, and Inrni-hed with spellers and reader*, and tho-e who can not write, attend 'he wii in^ -chool held in in the Cliapel Sabh 11h abet noons the teI suits in both ca-es. a- tu improvement, at ino-t gra' if

When it is knoivn that ninefc-en-tweentieths o' all who tind their way to prison, come through the influence of intemperance, direc ly or indirectly, how important that every possible sategtiard be thrown around them while here, by instruction, proper training- and solemn pledges, lest like the mow, they return to their wallowing in the mire.

Those who de-ire 1 lie form of worship peculiar to 1 he Roman Catholic Chinch are visited by a priest once in three weeks, who holds services in the Chapel at 0 o'clock in the morning. I have also been favored »ith the visits of ministers of various denouiinations, and temperance lecturers, who have spoken to us to edilication and great profit.

Although we deeply regret that more good has not been accomplished, yet we are sincerely thankful that our present condition gives promise of increasing moral health and spiritual prosperity.
